By Geno McGahee

Shawn Porter, 23-0-1, 14 KO’s, took home the IBF welterweight title with a great performance over Devon Alexander, 25-2, 14 KO’s, with a unanimous decision by scores of 115-113 and 116-112 twice. It was ugly and mauling encounter with both men falling into the clinches, but the effective punches were coming from the challenger. Porter used the Timothy Bradley blueprint to put Alexander into a shell and kept him there for the most part.

Porter kept up the pressure and clearly won the fight. Alexander was confused and could never find his rhythm. This was a devastating loss for Alexander who was in line for some big fights. Porter can now move on to bigger and better things.
